yes lil d lets start a pub server where you kick all non-regulars so you don't lose hlstats points

durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i guess you forgot that alot of regulars play alot of the time so they kinda balance out the point loss but if its all pubs theres no balance

didiot
[/quote]well if you're skilled enough to go 3:1 these "pubs" should pose no threat to your hlstats
[/quote]

do you even play this game or pay half a seconds attention to stats (dont do that second part its stupid)

getting killed once by a pub means you lose 50 points and you have to kill 10 more to get those back, so unless you dont die you're going to lose points and that is annoying

I'm alittle new to idea but, what are pubs? Like public games?

Me, I don't care about the stats. It seems when I start wanting to win, I start to lose, but if I don't care and I start to lose, I win, you know?

Yeah, "Pubs" = "Pubbies" = Public server players. The controversy regarding stats is that when a kill occurs in TF2, the killer steals an amount of points proportional to the total point difference between him or her and the victim. Thus, if a regular player with maybe 30000+ points gets killed by someone who connects to our server to the first time, he or she may see a point loss that can be very difficult to overcome. The big problem was that points weren't really reflective of overall skill, just time spent on the server.

Of course, I thought the stats algorithms have been changed since then...

Hmm, well if the stats are broken, why care? If someone with no medical experience were to tell me "You'll die in a month from a pulmonary embolism", I just plain wouldn't listen to him.

So in light of this information;

Both have occurred actually, modifications include bumping "support" points for classes like Medic & Engineer (ie Teleports, healing, assists, ubercharges). The second change was to nerf the number of points you lose by being killed. Of course another thing to "fix" this would be to reset the points every few months, because the loss still isn't capped, but its smaller than in the past.

And yes, people who play more will obviously get more points, but for the most part people seem to have settled back into the same ranks they had before the reset  :p

A great reminder.

I like that one concept in the credits, TF2 Breakout. That could be tremendous fun.
